PEACE THROUGH SERVICE


Young people around the world are finding ways to promote Peace Through Service in their communities. Here are two examples:
Interactor Haley from the Interact Club of West Feliciana High School in St. Francisville, Louisiana, USA, won the Interact Peace Through Service postcard contest with her design featured above. View all the entries and share your favorites on social media. Haley and her mother will receive round-trip airfare to the Rotary Global Peace Forum in Honolulu, Hawaii, 25-27 January. Their prize comes from the 2.5 million charity miles that Rotary received last year through the United Airlines 10 Million Charity Miles Giveaway.
Rotaractor Susanne Büttner joined more than 1,800 people, including many New Generations participants, at the first Rotary Global Peace Forum in Berlin. Read her post on the Rotary Voices blog.
RI President Sakuji Tanaka encourages clubs and districts to organize community peace forums that involve Youth Exchange students and other New Generations participants and challenge them to promote peace in their everyday lives.
